Much has been written about 2012 GOP presidential primary frontrunners Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich’s weaknesses as candidates. Less has been written about how they stand up next to each other, and whom the comparison favors. A close look at their records makes it clear that Romney can only benefit from Gingrich staying in the race as long as possible.

Well you know, these days we just cannot trust electronic devices, nor should we trust things which are read from a Teleprompter, at least I am wondering after the last State of the Onion [sic] speech. You see, I wonder if someone had hacked that teleprompter; “anonymously” and the wrong message was read prematurely and also conveniently considering the up-coming presidential 2012 election. Let me explain why.

Having followed the GOP presidential primaries with a fixation born of dread, amusement, and disgust, I was somewhat intrigued when I heard Newt Gingrich was coming to my stomping grounds in the wake of the news of the unusual twist in Iowa and Gingrich win in South Carolina. Florida had opted to change the date of its primary, believing that they could possibly provide momentum to the winning candidate. Now that Gingrich had had a surprise win in South Carolina, would this turn out to be the case? Mitt Romney must be dreading the possibility of losing again, given that McCain upset him here 4 years ago.

As students, we were brought up to believe the United States was a “Democracy.” That we were supposedly a “pluralistic society” or (a belief in power). We were taught the “working class” had a say-so in elections and that power was widely distributed. This, however, is a myth. The fact is, power is held by only a few (an oligarchy). The elites in this oligarchy hold the power in big business and government offices and are not for the interest of the common people or “working class” whether it be health care, a good education, enough to eat, affordable housing etc…these elites or “owning class” are out for profit and will use the “working class” by paying low wages, outsourcing, cutting benefits, anything to make profits soar.

When we think of swing states in presidential elections, Florida, with its fast-growing population, quickly comes to mind, followed by fading industrial powerhouses Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Wisconsin usually does not make the list. But the Badger State has become a state that President Obama must carry if he is going to have a decent chance at re-election.

The State of the Union address Tuesday night showcased the best and worst of our President. His best is eloquently delivering a message of hope and progress, assuring everyone that America is getting progressively stronger on all fronts, both here and abroad. No one can dispute that he is the unmatched master at boldly and confidently reciting a teleprompter message that creates a powerful impression of strong leadership and flawless judgments.
